Target: TbPIP5K1 (phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase)
NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: NCBI 185431
Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: XP_844312.1.
Organism (including strain): Trypanosoma brucei (strain 427)
Etiologic Risk Group: BioSafety Level 2
Disease Information:
Trypanosoma brucei is a parasitic protozoan that causes Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), commonly known as African sleeping sickness. Trypanosomiasis is primarily transmitted by the tsetse fly, and is thus endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. Trypanosomiasis symptoms include fever, headache, and adenopathy in the first stage, during which T. brucei invades the circulatory and lymphatic systems . This stage lasts approximately one to two weeks. If trypanosomiasis is left untreated in the first stage, the disease can be fatal in the second stage. During this stage, T. brucei invades the central nervous system and causes various neuropsychiatric symptoms, including tremors and eventually coma. The entire disease progression takes only approximately three weeks to manifest, ending in fatality.
